Extremely Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2013)

Well, I give it 10 out of 10 just because it is the kind of movie I have been waiting for since well, forever, and I was not disappointed. Robots and Monsters says it all. Not to mention I want to make all the haters hate me for giving it such a high rating that I think it deserves.
I will say this. If anyone avoids this movie solely based on another reviewer's or critics opinion is just naive. I will not try to say someone should or shouldn't avoid watching any film, because my opinion is mine based off of only my choice to like or dislike anything. With that said.
I really enjoyed this movie. I didn't get a chance to see the film in theaters because there was a major family crisis. However I got to see the BluRay/DVD which I just picked up today. I was really entertained. It really was cool to see a giant monster movie again, it's cool to see a modern take on influences of Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda and Mech Anime Some of the greatest influences of our time. Nothing like Duking it out Metal Vs. Monster. I also liked that it was a bit over the top and a movie like this should be. Not to mention it is kind of needed.
I will not talk about the story, all I will say is. Make the decision for yourself, I recommend watching it even if for just a cheap 2 hour thrill. Make your own opinion about it.
Was the story award winning worthy, hell no. It isn't supposed to be. Was the acting above and beyond no, because it isn't supposed to be. Albeit the visual effects were stunning and beautifully created, I think overall it is something a nerd like me can fully enjoy.
I am not too crazy about overuse of CGI and any other forms of animation, but in a movie like this, there just isn't getting around that, especially when it is at this scale. For me this movie was a dream come true.
I haven't seen a good monster movie(not counting Cloverfield)since King Kong, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and Godzilla. Those types of films paved the way for these types of movies and then you have the Anime element. The giant human operated mechanized robots or battle/mobile suits if you will. You enter that with a death match between battle suit vs. monster makes for a good action monster movie the whole family can enjoy.
Another aspect is the profanity. There wasn't over use of profanity. And that gets my approval. I don't need gratuitous amounts of profanity and sex in movies for me to enjoy them. Profanity serves no purpose in the real world or movies, other than to sound like an unintelligent and uneducated moron. Sorry to those of you who sear up a storm, that's just my opinion.
Back on topic, it is a good film and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it. It is a film the whole family can enjoy. What ever you do, do not take someones word for it. Go in with an open mind and make an opinion of your own. Oh and don't forget to pop a bag of popcorn and have a nice cold soda at your side. If you have read all of this. I thank you for taking the time to do so and I hope you enjoy the film as much as I did.
